Solar heating unit attracts visitors to Nebraska farm
About 1 000 people toured the Paul Bornhoff farm eight miles south and three east of here over the weekend to view the region's first solar heating system. Solar Farm Industries plans to locate a Nebraska factory in Sidney, with partners including Joe Conrad of Colorado Springs and Dr Dan Ward of Colorado State University. The system, blending Kalwall panels with a storage chamber, could cut the Bornhoft home's last winter bill of over 1000 dollars to about 135 dollars, and may power heating for most of a typical house.
